Gu Jue couldn't help but be stunned, his good-looking eyebrows gradually wrinkled, he didn't care about his unreasonableness, he only said: "What's wrong with this good one." ”

Yu Zhiyan looked at him with a resentful look, sharp enough to poke him into a few transparent holes.

After a long time, Yu Zhiyan slowly turned his head over, but saw that the flowers and trees outside the hall were flourishing, the palace was majestic, the golden Qionglou Yuyu, and the glazed vermilion wall.

However, at this moment, the chamberlain hurriedly came over, and when he looked closer, he was a little eunuch with a delicate face and a smile.

The thin body was dressed in meticulous eunuch clothes, and the waist was naturally slightly bent. The fingers overlapping in front of him were slightly orchid fingers.

Then he said in a sharp voice: "The queen mother asked General Gu and Miss Yu to enter the palace." ”

"I'm tired of my grandfather." After Gu Jue finished speaking, he glanced at Yu Zhiyan, and the two of them walked side by side towards the hall.

Yu Zhiyan had never seen Gu Jue so respectful to others, and he was an internal servant, so he thought that this person's identity must be special.

However, before she could think about it, the two of them had already stepped into the temple.

As soon as Yu Zheyan's front feet landed, he only felt a cool breeze blowing, it was the height of summer, but he didn't expect it to be so cool here, no wonder the queen came out of the palace and came here to escape the heat.

Stepping into the hall, I saw carved beams and painted columns, and phoenix pillars were heavy. The stone pillars of the main hall are carved with the swirling dragon phoenix, which is lifelike.

The queen is sitting on the phoenix chair in the hall, and the palace maids are shaking their fans, only to see that she is wearing a red and yellow gold and silver silk Luan bird Chaofeng embroidered court dress, and the sleeves are embroidered with large peonies, which are extremely bright. The skirt with a robe is very long, and the skirt is embroidered with a silver phoenix pattern, which is extremely gorgeous.

Faintly, her lower abdomen was slightly bulging.

Hearing the voices of the two people, the queen slowly raised her eyes, staring at Yu Zhiyan with phoenix eyes, and then showed a sneer, "Do you know why the palace called you here today?" ”

Yu Zhiyan and Gu Jue knelt on the ground respectfully, and the coolness on the bricks and tiles slowly entered their bones along their knees.

"The slave doesn't know." Yu Zhiyan slowly lowered his head.

"Today is my father's birthday." The queen slowly descended from the phoenix seat, and slowly stepped down the steps without being supported by the palace maid.

Yu Zhiyan watched the pair of embroidered shoes embroidered with phoenixes getting closer and closer to him, and a bad premonition rose from his heart.

Sure enough, I saw the queen come over and suddenly pull out the matching sword on Gu Jue's body, turn around and stab Yu Zhiyan's neck.

Her movements were so fast that everyone didn't dare to stop them even if they saw them, and could only watch the cold blade get closer and closer to her.

Just as she closed her eyes in despair, a figure stood in front of her.

Yu Zhiyan looked at Gu Jue's figure in disbelief, but saw that he was kneeling straight, enough to cover himself behind him.

"Sister." Gu Jue's voice was particularly loud in the silent hall, "Please spare her life." ”

As he spoke, his Adam's apple seemed to touch the cold blade of the sword, and a few drops of bright red blood slowly fell to the ground.

The queen glared at her younger brother angrily, "If it weren't for the palace to pick her up today, I'm afraid that you would enter the palace today to ask for the emperor's holy decree, and the palace heard that you slept in the green building yesterday, with this shameless woman." ”

"My brother has never forgotten my father's hatred." Gu Jue leaned over and slammed his head on the marble floor, "It's just that the sins she has suffered now are far from enough, and she asked the queen mother to let me take her back." ”

The queen slowly looked at her younger brother, and after a long time, she threw down the sword in her hand, "This palace lives here these days, so let this slut serve this palace." ”

Yu Zhiyan's body stiffened, but he heard Gu Jue's voice come again, "Okay." ”

When the queen heard Gu Jue nod her head and agreed, she hurriedly helped him up, and then the cold voice came again, "This palace doesn't need you to serve today, you just go outside and kneel under the sun." ”

Yu Zhiyan knelt down to thank him, and then led by the inner attendant, and slowly knelt under the sundial outside the hall.

The house was extremely cold, and the sun outside was extremely poisonous, and when she saw Yu Zhiyan, she only felt dizzy, and vaguely she saw Chu Xixi enter the hall, and then came out again, but she was followed by a few maidservants, holding a few boxes in their hands, presumably a new reward.

When Gu Jue came out of the hall, she saw Yu Zhiyan kneeling staggeringly, and the scorching sunlight shone on her flushed face.

He walked slowly past until she slowly sank into his figure.

Gu Jue slowly squatted beside her, carefully wiping the beads of sweat on her face for her, "You have to be patient these days, and I will find a way to take you away in a few days." ”

In despair, Yu Zhiyan's eyelashes trembled slightly, "Yes." ”

Gu Jue slowly stuffed a ball of something into her cuffs, and then turned to leave.

She slowly lowered her head, only to realize that it was a thick bundle of silver tickets, yes, what could be more useful than this in a place where eating people without spitting out bones.

——————

The queen's bedroom was full of incense, and the palace maid had already retreated, and only Yu Zhiyan served alone in the palace.

There were only three people in the hall, the queen who was high up, Yu Zhiyan, and the man.

Through the layers of veils, Yu Zhiyan saw the man, green silk like silk, bright eyes like silk playing the piano in his hand.

He is really as others say, he is no longer a phoenix but a luthier who is deeply liked by the queen, Mr. Qin Rong.

Soon the queen's voice came from the brocade couch, "Tea." ”

Yu Zhiyan walked over slowly, and then handed the tea to the queen.

However, the queen didn't drink it, just moved the lotus step lightly, slowly walked to Naqin Rong's side, and then stretched out her slender jade fingers and handed the teacup over.

The sound of the piano that resounded through the dormitory stopped abruptly, and the qin Rong slowly reached out to take the tea cup of blue plum blossoms.

He drank it slowly, and then picked it with a thin lip, "Thank you for the reward of Queen Mother." ”

Queen Gu Yinglian's eyes showed a gentle smile, and her weak and boneless hand slowly reached over and caressed his handsome cheeks.

Then Yu Zhiyan clearly saw that Na Qin Rong slowly leaned over and kissed the queen lightly on the face.

Yu Zhiyan only felt that his heart was pricked with a needle when his heart was smooth, and the pain permeated his limbs. That woman is the queen, the emperor's wife, Fenghuang is you will never do such a shameless thing.

"Okay, I'm tired of this palace, you all go back." The queen slowly stood up, her skirt rustling against the floor.

Yu Zhiyan knew that today's suffering was over, so he hurriedly bowed down and slowly retreated.

Outside, the moon is as cool as water, and the sound of cicadas and birds fluttering their wings can be faintly heard among the lush flowers and willows.

The little eunuch who sent him back to the door carried a lantern and led the way in front of him from afar.

Yu Zhiyan stepped on the jade steps, turned his head and said to the man holding the qin beside him, "Feng Huang, I only want to know one thing, Mo Shu is life or death." If you tell me, I promise that I will never pester you in the future, and I will not hinder you in anything. ”

However, the man next to her slowly turned his head, and his whispered voice sounded in her ears, "Do you have any silver?" ”

Yu Zhiyan guessed his answer, but he never thought it would be like this. Somewhat confused, she took out the silver ticket in her arms and slowly handed it to him.

She really couldn't guess what he wanted to do.

However, he took the silver ticket and lit it carefully by the faint light emanating from the palace lamps hanging in the long corridor.

"That's enough money for you to get everything I have." The pearl-like eyes of the deep sea slowly looked at her, and then slowly leaned over, "How about I sleep with you today?" ”

His hot breath landed in her ear, and she felt a shudder and reached out to push his chest.

I only heard the sound of "Zheng", and it turned out that her fingers touched his strings.

"Why, you don't want me to serve." His fingers slowly hooked his black hair, "Isn't it because you want to get close to me so hard because you covet my looks?" I'm just a lowly luthier, and I'm willing to do anything as long as I have money. ”

Tears rolled down the corners of Yu Zhiyan's eyes, and she preferred to believe that the person in front of her was not the noble prince of Nan'an in the past, but really just a lowly pianist like dust.

His fingers ran over her cheek, slowly wiping the tears from her cheeks.

"Maybe you want to talk about love." Weeping peony, smoke and rain begonia, but he can't be beautiful with his face, "That's too troublesome, you need more silver taels." ”

At this time, the attendant who was walking far away with a lantern scolded loudly, "You can't leave yet, the master is not willing to serve you." ”

Yu Zhiyan didn't think about it, and chased the eunuch away.

She was placed in a very dilapidated side house, next to a fish pond full of silt, which had not been cleaned for an unknown amount of time, and emitted a foul smell mixed with fishy smell.

She was tidying up the wet bed in the house, but Chu Xixi came over.

Yu Zhiyan was arranged in the dirtiest place in the courtyard, while she was arranged in the splendid pile. Yu Zhiyan didn't know how she found this place, but thinking that she was still thinking about herself, she couldn't help but be moved.

Obviously they came together, but she lived like a master, but Yu Zhiyan was abused and humiliated.

She still didn't say much, just indifferently handed a few medicine bottles to Yu Zhiyan, and then talked about the efficacy of each bottle.

Yu Zhiyan remembered so much, and threw it all on the rickety wooden table.

When Chu Xixi left with the palace lamp, he suddenly turned his head and said, "Actually, these things were sent by General Gu, and I know they are for you." ”

Yu Zhiyan looked at the large and small jars, but his heart was warm.

"Actually, he really loves you." Chu Xixi's cheeks seemed to have a bright jade color circulating, "Maybe he is the best person in your life." ”

——————

The royal palace seemed to be cool even in the scorching heat, and Yu Zhiyan stood in front of the queen's bedroom, looking at the birdsong from the pavilions, which was very pleasant.

Yesterday she had been kneeling in the scorching sun for too long, her knees hurt terribly, and every step felt like she was walking on the tip of a knife.

At this time, the grandfather of Sun yesterday walked out slowly, shook off the dust in his hand, and then said to the people guarding outside the hall: "The queen is awake, you go in and serve." ”

Yu Zhiyan held a copper basin in his hand, and slowly stepped into the hall with the steps of the palace maid.

The water for the queen's daily cleansing is the dew plucked from the flowers and leaves, and it is only half a golden basin, and it does not take much effort to carry the cigarette.

As soon as Yu Zhiyan entered the hall, she saw that the queen was slowly getting up with the support of the little girl, she looked very bad, presumably because she was pregnant and did not sleep well.

According to Grandpa Sun's instructions, Yu Zhiyan put the golden basin on the shelf, but the queen walked over and put her thin white hand into it, and her face suddenly changed, "Who prepared this water for washing your face?" ”

A bad premonition arose, Yu Zhiyan slowly stepped forward, leaned over and bowed, "It's a slave." ”

Father-in-law Sun hurriedly put his hand into the golden basin, and then his face changed, and he scolded bitterly: "Oh, how can you use such cold water to wash the queen's face, why don't you pour hot water into it." ”

Yu Zhiyan followed his gaze, but saw that one of the palace maids was holding a silver kettle in his hand, and it was hot water.

She has never served anyone, she doesn't understand the rules of the palace, and it is inevitable that she will make mistakes, but other people know it, but they refuse to tell her.

Yu Zhiyan knew that it was useless to explain, so he only said respectfully, "The slave is guilty." ”

The queen's voice was as cold as the night breeze, and she walked over to the silver kettle, took the boiling water, and poured it on Yu Zhiyan's hand.

A piercing pain came, but Yu Zhiyan slowly couldn't even hide. I saw that a layer of mist suddenly appeared in the hall, and everyone looked at this terrible scene with trepidation, but no one pleaded for her.

With the sound of the silver kettle falling to the ground, the queen's voice was cold, "If you forget it next time, this palace will not punish you so lightly." ”

Yu Zhiyan's delicate hands have been scalded like pig's trotters, and the row of drainage blisters looks very hideous.

Soon, someone came over cautiously and kowtowed, "Queen Mother, General Gu has come to greet you." ”

The queen's face changed a few times, and then her eyes fell on Yu Zhiyan, who was kneeling on the ground, "You go and pick a few fresh lotus flowers from the lake for the palace." ”

Yu Zhiyan clenched his hands tightly, his chest rose and fell, and he seemed to be trying his best to hide the pain in his body, "Yes." ”

"Put down your sleeves when you go out for a while, if Donglang sees your wounds, he thinks that this palace has treated you badly."

Yu Zhiyan's throat moved slightly, "Yes." ”

After speaking, she slowly withdrew from the hall, but at the door of the hall, she almost bumped into Gu Jue.

But he saw that Gu Jue was dressed in court clothes and gave him a bit of elegance, wearing an official hat, a black brocade edging on the brim, embroidered with hundreds of inverted blessing patterns, and a piece of excellent quality jade on his forehead.

Seeing that her face was so ugly, he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Yu Zhiyan saw that his voice was very low, and he might not be able to hear it in the hall, but he said indifferently: "The slave didn't sleep well last night, and the general was worried." ”

Gu Jue wanted to ask again, but saw her leave as if fleeing for her life, and it wasn't until her thin figure disappeared on the last step that he withdrew his gaze and got up to enter the hall.

Yu Zhiyan was not familiar with this place at all, and only after asking the palace maids and eunuchs who came and went, he reluctantly felt the direction of the lake.

However, as she walked along the deep bamboo forest in the town, she saw a place full of exotic flowers and plants, which was very bright and beautiful, and she knew that it was a place to usually visit. There are 16 flowers and trees, the trees are tall and handsome, at this time in summer, the wind moves the flowers and falls, thousands of flowers, paving several layers on the ground, only to see the backyard such as the snow falling at the beginning, it is very beautiful.

At this moment, there was a sound of beating and scolding in the distance, and one after another came from the pavilion.

When she walked a few steps, she saw several eunuchs surrounding as if they were kicking and beating someone, and the person was lying on the ground, and his white clothes were already dirty.

Yu Zheyan is already difficult to protect himself, where is he still thinking about the life and death of others, he just wanted to take a detour, but he inadvertently saw people on the ground.

It's Feng Huang, not Qin Rong.

Yu Zhiyan rushed forward without thinking about it, pushed a slightly thin waiter away, and then said excitedly: "What are you doing?" ”

Seeing that someone dared to come forward, the attendants hurriedly stopped beating Na Qinrong, but turned around to look at Yu Zhiyan.

"Where did the eyeless girl come from, and she still wants to be strong." One of the eunuchs, who looked like he had some status, pointed his finger at Yu Zhiyan, "Why, this is your concubine." ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" The man lying on the ground with Yu Zhiyan did not have a trace of scar on his face, thinking that these servants were extremely smart people who knew how to fight in the dark.

Yu Zhiyan ran over and slowly helped the man on the ground up, inadvertently tearing her wound, and the piercing pain hit her again.

At this time, Na Qinrong slowly opened his mouth, "My money has been taken away by several fathers-in-law, how can you let us go today." ”

The little eunuch who was pushed by Yu Zhiyan just now got up and patted the dust on his body, and then grabbed a handful of soil from the ground, "Eat it, and our brothers will leave." ”

Qin Rong's beautiful eyes moved, and then he reached out and took it.

Yu Zhiyan only felt his head buzz, and said in an unbelievable voice, "What are you going to do, don't throw these things away." ”

"Threw it?" The little eunuch smiled treacherously, "Let's go find something more disgusting and see if he can eat it."

Qin Rong's eyelashes moved, and then he opened his mouth and slowly ate the filthy soil.

Yu Zhiyan was completely stunned, and only looked at the face and mouth that were exactly the same as Feng Huang, moving slowly, as if he was not eating puree, but a delicious pastry.

When the eunuchs saw that he had finished eating, they kept laughing, and then walked with smug faces.

After they left, Qin Rong slowly walked to the stone pillar and vomited heavily.

"How are you?" Yu Zhiyan walked up slowly, patting him on the back slowly, "The queen treats you so well, why don't you tell the queen." ”

The man who finished vomiting wiped his lips, and then showed an expression of disgust, "You don't have to worry about my affairs, if you like me, bring the silver." ”

Then he walked slowly, step by step, staggering, as if in great pain. Such a humble person can't be Feng Huang, she is willing to believe it at this time, this is just exactly the same as Feng Huang, he is not Feng Huang, not the prince of Nan'an

Yu Zhiyan didn't know how she got to the lake, but she still remembered the queen's instructions, rocked the wooden boat, and slowly rowed to the middle of the water.

She picked it for a long time only to find that what she had broken off were some flowers that had failed, and one by one they were very ugly.

Yu Zhiyan recovered some of his mind, threw all those things out, and then folded a few good-looking ones.

Unexpectedly, her wooden boat had just docked, but a tall figure stood in front of her.

She took a tight breath, then her fingers tightly clutched the flower basket in her hand, she looked at Gu Jue, and muttered, "Why are you here?" ”

Gu Jue couldn't help but hug her off the wooden boat, through her clothes, she clearly felt the warmth on his body, which seemed to have become the only warmth she could absorb.

Until her feet stepped on the steps of the lake, she still only put her arms around his waist, buried her face deep in his chest, and refused to come out.

The lotus in her basket was almost crushed, but she still didn't look at letting go of him.

Gu Jue had never seen her like this, so she couldn't help but be stunned, her fingers caressed the green silk behind her, and comforted her softly, "What's wrong?" ”

Yu Zhiyan's voice was hoarse, "Don't move." ”

But Gu Jue still pulled her out of his warm arms, and then said softly: "It's too late to hug her later, I won't run, let me take a look at the wound on your hand first." ”

She couldn't help but be stunned, and then said softly, "How do you know?" ”

"I'm not a fool, I saw it outside the hall just now." He reached for her hand, then glanced at his shocking wound.

"Does it hurt?" His voice was full of distress, and he spread her hand out, "You have to pick up all these blisters before you can apply the medicine." ”

Yu Zhiyan nodded, then watched Gu Jue take out a dagger that he had hidden in his boots, and then gently slashed towards the largest one.

With the flow of yellow mucus, Yu Zhe's cigarette butt was suddenly covered with beads of sweat.

Gu Jue took out the medicine bottle in his arms, and then carefully poured some of the medicine powder on it.

Then the second, the third, and it seemed like the pain never stopped.

When he picked the eighth, Yu Zhiyan suddenly broke out and cried bitterly. Maybe it's because of the pain, maybe it's because of the grievances, maybe it's for the sake of sealing the phoenix.

She cried out like a baby, not caring how embarrassed she was now, how embarrassed she was.

On the empty lake, only her cry kept echoing, and even the koi fish that swam out to play on the surface of the lake quietly hid under the water, and didn't even dare to come up again.

Gu Jue hurriedly said: "If you feel pain, bite me." ”

Yu Zhiyan didn't think about it, and bit on his shoulder at once, her sharp teeth bit through his court clothes and bit the skin on his shoulder.

With a smell of blood filling her nose, she saw that the patterns on his dark court clothes were embroidered, and there were faint brown blood stains.

He knew she was hurting, but he couldn't wait for her to endure it. Gu Jue had never resented herself so much, and even she couldn't protect her.
